Discover the best tourist attractions of western Ukraine with Maria Zawaski! Maria is a freelance journalist, born on the West of Ukraine, got married to Canada. "Now, when I live abroad, I recommend to all my foreign friends to visit western part of my home country Ukraine. Why the western one - it is because I used to live there, so I am more familiar with that part of the country and I can tell lots of stories about the culture, lifestyle and traditions of Ukrainian West," Maria says

Feel-Good Ukrainian-Canadian Music

Whoa! What an energetic Ukrainian-Canadian band! Make me feel like traveling to Ukraine again or, at least, to go to some Ukrainian zabava (a party). Well, listen to this!

I hope you like the videos and the music. As for me, these songs and, the most important thing, a style of the band and their positive energy which guys share with everyone, became a source of my positive energy each time when I am listening to the band. I want to dance, I want to sing – that’s what feel-good music, like this one, is normally does to you.
The name of the band is “Тут і Там” (“Toot ee Tahm”) which means “Here and There” in English. The musicians are from Saskatoon and their names are: John Dickinson, Matt Gruza, Carissa Klopoushak, Mark Klopoushak and Steve Kodak.
“Тут і Там” is touring a lot in Canada, participating in Ukrainian festivals and events, such as Vegreville’s Pysanka Festival, Malanka in Jasper, Saskatoon’s Vesna Festival, Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival in Dauphin, Toronto Ukrainian Festival and many others. The videos I share today with you are from Toronto Ukrainian Festival (2011).

You don’t need visa for travel to Ukraine

If you are citizen of USA, Canada, European Union, Switzerland or Liechtenstein, you don’t need a TOURIST visa for travel to Ukraine. Decree about it was signed in 2005. Tourist visa to Ukraine means that you are going to stay in Ukraine not more than 90 days. So for your short term stay in Ukraine (less than 90 days) you just need to have a travel passport and to buy a ticket, that’s it.
P.S. The same rules work for the citizens of Japan, Andorra, Vatican, Iceland, Monaco, Norway and San Marino. People of these countries don’t need a tourist visa to Ukraine, too.
